THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

See the problem with being RIGHT, MS. Coyote (!), is that when you're right and you go public everyone knows your name. Once you were just an apparatchik in some local tax giveaway to the film biz. Today, you're a Coyote -- and an ass.A suggestion to the Marines: If ever (God forbid) we get invaded, leave Frisco to its own defenses. Perhaps the smell of its vagrants will chase the attacking forces away. P. S. Hearing a coyote is much more common than seeing one. The calls a coyote make are high-pitched and variously described as howls, yips, yelps and barks.NO FURTHER COMMENT. (Via USAOKAY.com's On Deadline)
